Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

"What? You want to leave the illusion now?"

Liu Luoyun's beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of confusion as she gazed at Jiang Yueming.

She hadn't expected Jiang Yueming to lower his guard so quickly; when they first met, he had been very wary of her.

After all, those who can survive in this illusion must have an extraordinary sensitivity to danger; it's just that his change in attitude was too rapid.

Liu Luoyun was still somewhat shocked, but then she thought that Jiang Yueming might have just said it casually.

"Actually, you..."

"I'm determined to leave the illusion."

Jiang Yueming saw that Liu Luoyun still looked puzzled, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course I trust you. Just for the sake of you mending the clothes, I'll do it for you."

That's what he said, but it was actually based on the results of the simulation.

In the simulation, Liu Luoyun really is a god from the upper realm. If that's the case, then if she really wants to kill him, he won't be able to escape no matter what.

But looking at it from another angle, could it be that Liu Luoyun never intended to harm anyone, and that she never even thought of harming herself?

If we think about it this way, Liu Luoyun is naturally neither an enemy nor a friend. Since she is a friend, there is no need to test her further. Besides, there is something else that forces him to leave the illusion quickly.

"Alright, Senior Liu, please begin your supernatural powers. Thank you in advance for helping me escape this illusion."

Jiang Yueming took a small step back, extended her hand very politely, and made a gesture of invitation.

In the simulation, he knew for certain that Liu Luoyun was a deity on the throne side, and it would be beneficial to show her some respect now.

However, upon hearing this, Liu Luoyun frowned, her lips seemingly wanting to say something, but she held back and remained silent.

She nodded to Jiang Yueming, then her nimble fingers pierced the void, creating ripples, and an invisible yet immense power enveloped her.

Click!

The space before them suddenly shattered, turning into shards of glass that fell into the surrounding darkness. The cracked space formed a spatial star hole, and within the hole, the surface of the dark vortex slowly began to shimmer with glittering stars. A pure spatial power then spread out.

"Alright, the Illusionary Starry Sky has been opened. You can completely leave the illusion by crossing those star points," Liu Luoyun said, her face slightly worried, pointing to the star cave ahead.

Seeing this, Jiang Yueming nodded slightly and bowed to bid farewell to Liu Luoyun: "I will forever remember your great kindness, my lord. Let us part ways here."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the light, a look of seriousness appearing in his eyes.

He knew he should have taken the white fruit before leaving, but Liu Luoyun couldn't wait.

And most importantly, after he completely merged with his predecessor's memories last night, he discovered something extraordinary.

This is what led to the predecessor being cast into the Heavenly Thunder Illusion and brutally murdered.

This is what is meant by marrying into the family!

Marrying into another's family was a common occurrence in Jiang Yueming's previous life, but for her predecessor, it was a deadly act!

Because his blood had special properties that could save a certain nobleman, the nobleman's father wanted him to marry into the family.

But the original owner wasn't stupid; he knew that once he married into the family, he would definitely become a target for drugs, at the mercy of others.

His family strongly opposed his marriage into the family, but unfortunately, he was not given much opportunity.

To punish his predecessor's stubborn nature, the patriarch simply threw him into the Heavenly Thunder Illusion Realm, making him suffer and reflect on his actions.

But he never expected that Jian Rufeng, that villain, would outmaneuver him and force him to his death with the Soul-Devouring Chain.

According to the original owner's memories, on the hundredth day, a benefactor would personally come to collect the previous owner's life contract. Once the life contract was taken away, it would be equivalent to legally acknowledging his status as a son-in-law.

Even if a powerful figure forces the former incarnation, he will have no way to protest his innocence.

In addition, Jiang Yueming also realized that time in the illusion was slower than time outside, and it was very likely that it was already the hundredth day outside.

That is one's own destiny, danger!

No matter what, Jiang Yueming cannot hand over the life contract; otherwise, what difference would it make from death?

"Leave the rest of what you didn't finish to me," Jiang Yueming said involuntarily as she paused in front of Xingdian.

His brow furrowed slightly for a moment, then he took a quick step forward, the starlight slowly shrinking and swallowing his figure.

Liu Luoyun watched Jiang Yueming gradually disappear into the star cave, her previously calm expression turning solemn as she slowly said, "Jiang Yueming, once you take this step, there's no turning back."

While in the cave with Jiang Yueming, Liu Luoyun used the divine artifact "Heavenly Fate Illusion" to investigate his destiny.

Just as she had predicted, Jiang Yueming was indeed him in this life!

Would it have been a better choice to let him go, without bringing him back to the Upper Realm...?

Liu Luoyun remained silent, her eyes deep in thought. After a long while, she gently stroked the pair of white and purple earrings in her palm with her jade-like fingers, slowly closed her eyes, and sighed, "The turmoil of a thousand years ago is about to unleash another bloodbath, but this time, who can remain unscathed?"

……

Jiang family.

Great Hall.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black tiger-patterned demon robe and sitting upright in a golden tiger-bone chair swept his cold gaze over the elders below, unleashing an endless pressure.

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on Jiang Wushen marrying into the family?"

Jiang Xuan tapped the armchair with his fingers in a meaningful way, the crisp sound echoing throughout the hall.

The elders, trembling with fear, all lowered their heads and remained silent.

This time, no one dared to stand up and object.

Those discordant voices from the beginning have long been buried underground.

"Very good, it seems that sending Jiang Wushen into the Heavenly Thunder Illusionary Realm for training was the right choice."

Jiang Xuan revealed a playful smile, his index finger still tapping the armrest.

When the first meeting was held to decide whether or not to let Jiang Yueming marry into the family, his opinion was the strongest.

So he was sent into the Heavenly Thunder Illusion.

Secondly, a small number of elders also voiced their dissent, and then their remains were also buried in the earth.

Although Jiang Xuan knew that these elders were not trying to speak well of Jiang Yueming, they just felt that it was too lowly for Jiang Yueming to marry into the family.

But even so, Jiang Xuancai couldn't tolerate them. He wanted to rule the entire Jiang family, he wanted absolute authority, and he wanted absolute power of speech.

Anyone who dares to disagree with him will not survive more than three seconds.

"Master, I have something to say."

In the utterly silent hall, an old man dressed in a white robe embroidered with cranes walked out of the queue, holding a wooden cane.

All eyes turned to him instantly, and they were all taken aback.

Although this white-robed old man is the eldest elder of the family, he has never contradicted the family head to his face. Could it be for Jiang Yueming this time?

But the Grand Elder didn't have a deep relationship with Jiang Wushen, so how could he have offended the head of the family with a lowly adopted son?

Each elder in the hall had their own plans and waited for the patriarch to speak.

Jiang Xuan's cold eyes suddenly darkened, and he said solemnly, "Elder, if you have something to say, then say it."

If this old man dares to openly oppose marrying into the family, he wouldn't mind if another person in his family died.

After all, apart from a mere elder, what can those opportunistic rats below do to him?

For the sake of his lasting ambition, what's wrong with sacrificing Jiang Yueming and then another elder?

Jiang Sheng was clearly aware of Jiang Xuan's murderous intent towards him, but he didn't step forward to stand up for Jiang Yueming.

He was only concerned about the Jiang family's reputation; that important person was coming to collect the life contract tomorrow and specifically requested to see Jiang Wushen.

But Jiang Yueming is still in the Heavenly Thunder Illusion. If we don't get him out, others will laugh at us.

As for Jiang Yueming, a lowly adopted son, he never thought of fighting for anything for him.

"Master, the Zhang family is coming tomorrow; they want to see Jiang Yueming."

Jiang Sheng stopped speaking at just the right moment, not wanting to say anything more, lest others always think he was on Jiang Wushen's side.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan paused slightly as he tapped the chair with his index finger, then smiled deeply and said, "You don't need to worry about that, our Martial God will come out on his own."

At that moment, he sensed the anomaly in the Heavenly Thunder Illusion...
